Eulogy

[verse 1] I walk through a cemetery, wilted flowers on display tombs full of wasted promise, my dead dreams in the graves all around, fresh mounds of dirt unearthed and haunted and each tombstone reads "here's everything you wanted" [chorus 1] this is for the boy who could have done anything, been anyone, if he only learned how to be himself this is for the dreamer who believed in a future, believed a lie, that he could be anything be anyone [post chorus 1] This is a eulogy for my potential as I lay my ambitions to rest [verse 2] I wander around this graveyard wondering what could have been fading specters in the distance trying to lure me back in they want to plant false hopes full of "yeah, but what if"? words like "maybe, just maybe" but all I hear is bullshit [bridge 1] gravedigger, gravedigger that's who I am digging another hole broken shovel in hand [final chorus] this is for the boy who could have done anything, been anyone, if he only learned how to be himself this is for the dreamer who believed in a future, believed a lie, that he could be anything be anyone [bridge 2] gravedigger, gravedigger that's all I've become burying parts of myself in the graves I've dug [final post chorus] This is a eulogy for my expectations as I lay this fantasy to rest [outro] this is for the boy who could have done anything, been anyone
